The Practice of Social Research - First time taking a research methods course and this textbook is chalk full of information! Sometimes the reading is tedious (technical jargon) but has very interesting case studies and like how it lists links to find more information on certain topics. I will keep this textbook for future reference.

Research for the novice - Language is simple and the book is written in a conversational style. Babbie is a considered one of the leaders in this area and his style is one that encourages learning in a non threatening manner. Excellent!
